This is the character Cheval atop his pet Rathian (a monster known as Lioleia in Japanese). As with the other MHS amiibo, you can take the figure off and just display the Rathian on its own, or swap the riders to different monsters. What a great touch.

I find the pose a bit awkward here – Cheval is so hunched over you can barely see his face. I’m also not sure why the Rathian has such a stubby tail – this could be a game reference that I haven’t got to yet.

Anyway, these are minor quibbles – it’s still another beautifully detailed Monster Hunter amiibo, which have quickly become my favourites. And as an added bonus, the Japanese eBay seller threw in a complimentary Green Tea Kit-Kat. Oishii!
